The best abroad Physical Therapy shadowing experience ever!
December 24, 2024by: Alex Wrobleski - United StatesProgram: Physical Therapy Shadowing in Puerto Vallarta, MexicoMy study abroad experience with Toucan Abroad was one of the best of my life. It was the perfect blend of learning and fun while being in Mexico! Each clinic I visited was filled with the kindest staff and patients they were all welcoming and really wanted to help us learn about Physical Therapy. Having the ability to care and get to know the patients in such a short time while also being able to help them was something I will cherish. Despite being in each clinic for four days, I feel like I learned so much from each that was helpful to my education. We also went on so many fun excursions around Puerto Vallarta like horse back riding, ziplining, surfing and even paintball! Everyone on the trip was so friendly and we formed life long friendships! I found this opportunity only a month before leaving but it was truly one of the best decisions to go!

December 08, 2022by: Mikee Madamba - United StatesProgram: Physical Therapy Shadowing in Puerto Vallarta, MexicoWhen I applied for this program, I was terrified of being in another country, especially since i haven’t traveled in awhile. However, the group that I was with made me feel so comfortable and I had lots of fun. It solidified my passion for physical therapy and I was excited to apply for this year’s cycle. It inspired me to look for programs that had clinicals in other countries and entertain the possibility of working abroad after I get my PT license. This program made me realize that there are so many ways I can explore healthcare on a global scale. I can’t wait to travel more, learn more, and eat more!

I wanted to go abroad to be able to explore Latin America while also learning more in physical therapy studies. I really wanted to travel abroad to learn more about the latin culture and fully immerse myself in the culture while also gaining a more holistic view of my profession. Lastly, I wanted to push myself to go outside of my comfort zone and really take this opportunity to learn more about myself and grow as a person.
